Traveling by Jeep, boat and foot, Tribune-Review investigative reporter Carl Prine and photojournalist Justin Merriman covered nearly 2,000 miles over two months along the border with Mexico to report on coyotes — the human traffickers who bring illegal immigrants into the United States. Most are Americans working for money and/or drugs. This series reports how their operations have a major impact on life for residents and the environment along the border — and beyond.

Joshua Glenn Wolfe, 29, of 234B Second St., New Salem, is charged with aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault and corruption of minors.

In criminal complaints, Trooper Heather Clem said the abuse began in 2003 at a residence in Masontown, where Plum inappropriately touched a boy.

The assaults later escalated to rape at a Menallen residence, according to the complaint. A younger girl was abused at the same location through 2011, police said.

Bryner is accused of sexually assaulting the boy at the Menallen home sometime between 2009 and 2011. Wolfe sexually assaulted the girl at the same home between 2009 and 2011, according to the complaints.

According to one of the complaints, Plum denied the allegations when confronted by police. He told two troopers during a March 18 interview at the Uniontown barracks that he was “over the stage of messing with kids,” the complaint states.

During his arraignment Tuesday on the charges, Plum told an attorney who briefly represented him that he is innocent.

“I didn't do none of that,” Plum said.

All three were arraigned before South Union District Judge Joseph George Jr. and placed in the Fayette County Prison in lieu of $250,000 bond each. Preliminary hearings are tentatively scheduled for March 27 before George.

TribLive commenting policy

You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our Terms of Service.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments  either by the same reader or different readers.

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
